I agree. That's why I think the best way to ease them along is with baby steps. Frankly, I think if e-books were delivered through dirt-cheap, physical USB keys and sold like pbooks, they would have higher adoption rates than they do now. That way you're only asking the mass market to accept one new thing at a time. Yeah, it's totally antithetical to what e-books are all about, and I'm not in any way suggesting it (before a couple of dozen people post that it's a stupid idea) but it would probably work.
